(Abstract): Raster GIS ASCII data files of wind speed and wind power density at 10 and 50 m heights. Global data of offshore wind resource as generated by NASA’s QuikSCAT SeaWinds scatterometer.

(Purpose):  To provide information on the wind resource potential of offshore areas.

(Abstract):  NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource (POWER) Project is developing data sets from Earth Science Enterprise climate research to support renewable energy industries. The Surface meteorology and Solar Energy (SSE) data set contains solar parameters principally derived from satellite observations and meteorology parameters from an atmospheric model constrained to satellite and sounding observations. It is a 22-year climatology (July 1983- June 2005) on a one-degree latitude by one-degree longitude grid.
